I was given the Roxy Music box set for Christmas. Much as I appreciate the gift and thought I am very underwhelmed by the poor quality offered.
The only half decent lp in the set is Avalon which I already have an original copy of. The original is far superior.
I think it's just Universal trying to cash in on the vinyl resurgence. The quality of the pressings are awful, clicks, pops, general surface noise etc. They have no doubt attempted to maximise profits by using some 2nd rate pressing company in Eastern Europe.
The sound quality is as though there is a veil in front of the music, these have been digitally vandalised to within an micron of their musical life!
Of course the above is only my opinion.
Oh yes, the outer sleeves have been made too small as well.
Half speed mastered, Abbey Road, 180g vinyl, sales hype? Check out some of the reviews on amazon.UK.
It's not really surprising there is currently a "special offer"!

Here's a recent newcomer to the vinyl market claiming to use the original analogue tapes


Can't vouch for the quality as I haven't bought anything from their catalogue yet.

Did you get this in the end, Paul Rigby has given it a good review.
